It is an important infrastructure facility without which no industrial activity can be thought of in modern times. Increasing automation of Indian industries has created huge demand of power in India. This huge demand has resulted into demand supply gap in India in recent times.

This report gives an extensive study of Power Sector. Environmental impact of the sector is discussed. The various analyses show that there has been a continuous growth in generation and consumption of power in India. World electricity generation rose at an average annual rate of 3.

Total world consumption of marketed energy is projected to increase by 50 percent from to This increase was largely due to more electrical appliances, development of electrical heating in several developed countries and rural electrification programmes in developing countries.

De-regulation in areas of the global energy markets has led to fierce competition. Now more than ever electricity has to be produced at a lower cost with many countries imposing ever tightening environmental legislation to reduce the impact power generation has on the environment.

The enormous challenges are recognised in providing electricity as efficiently as possible and strive to develop technology to meet your needs. Energy demand in the OECD economies is expected to grow slowly over the projection period, at an average annual rate of 0. Over the past decades, their energy consumption as a share of total world energy use has increased significantly.

Even stronger growth is projected over the next 25 years, with their combined energy use more than doubling and their share increasing to one-quarter of world energy consumption in in the IEO reference case. In contrast, the U. However, commercial production and distribution started inin Calcutta now Kolkata.

In the yearthe country had a power generating capacity of 1, MW. Generation and distribution of electrical power was carried out primarily by private utility companies such as Calcutta Electric. Power was available only in a few urban centers; rural areas and villages did not have electricity.

Afterall new power generation, transmission and distribution in the rural sector and the urban centers which was not served by private utilities came under the purview of State and Central government agencies.

Legal provisions to support and regulate the sector were put in place through the Indian Electricity Act, Sampling of component specimens for detailed laboratory analysis. Power plant components which operate at high temperatures such as boiler headers, steam pipes, turbine casings, valves, etc.

creep is a major cause of cracking especially on the highly stressed brittle regions.

As more and more power plant equipments are reaching . Power Plant Electrical Distribution Systems Gary W Castleberry, PE following equipment in a power plant distribution system: Main electrical generator, isolated phase bus duct, step-up transformer, station auxiliary A more detailed discussion of each component follows this narrative.

Criticality Analysis of Power-Plant Equipments Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process 3 problem is structured in three levels. The goal is at the top level of the AHP decision hierarchy, while the criteria are placed on the second level.

GE Power accumulated some billion U.S.

dollars in total assets in the financial year. In particular, GE Power & Water are responsible for power generation products and services.

The volume of electricity generated worldwide has steadily increased over the last decade from 18, terawatt hours in to 23, terawatt hours in The Asia-Pacific nuclear power plant and equipment market is expected to witness high growth during the forecast period, owing to rapid increase in the demand for power in this region.

Furthermore, power shortages and chronic smog in countries such as India and China, are attributed to the growth of clean energy such as nuclear energy. Analysis of the power sector by PORTER’s Five Force Model and through SWOT analysis gives the direction of the sector.

Environmental impact of the sector is discussed. The PORTER’s five forces analysis, SWOT analysis are used to analyze the industry of power sector.
